Location: Almost Heaven | I repaired a TI that broke unexpectedly. I used a piece of an old fiberglass rod as an insert and epoxied one end in. I used a graphite sleeve (arrow) and slid it down over before I epoxied the other end of the fiberglass insert into the rod. You can use some masking tape to make the sleeve fit snug before you epoxy it. I then epoxied the sleeve over where the break was. I use it as a jerk bait rod. It seems to be strong at that point. I could have threw it away but I'm cheap and I was not paying to send it back. Lol. |

Hmmmm... I might have to give him a call. He lives like 5 miles from me and I have a broken G Loomis in the garage. Never even thought of giving him a call. |

Location: South-Central PA | It can be done, but it takes some expertise to do it correctly. Even when done properly, there's no guarantee that it will last.
Take it to an experienced local builder and have it repaired. It's no use the way it is.

Location: Milwaukee, WI | I sent my broken G Loomis back to them and they sent me anew one. Cost me $50 in shipping, but well worth it. St. Croix has also replaced broken rods for me in the past as well. There's a reason to pay more for new rod, IMO, especially when you are an idiot like me and break rods WAY too often. |
